Vanuatu Petrel

Bulweria bifax

The Vanuatu Petrel (Bulweria bifax) is a seabird species found in the Pacific Ocean. It has a dark brown plumage with a white underbelly and a distinctive hooked bill. These birds are known for their graceful flight, often gliding low over the water's surface. Vanuatu Petrels are pelagic birds, spending most of their lives at sea and returning to land only to breed. They are known to nest in burrows on remote islands, where they lay a single egg. Threats to this species include predation by invasive species and habitat destruction on breeding islands.

Habitat: Open ocean, remote islands
